What the Future Will Be Like According to Films

Michael Hobson created this infographic showing what events will occur and what the world will look like in the future according to the story lines of popular movies (and a couple television shows). According to Escape from L.A., the city of Los Angeles will be an island, abandoned by authority and ruled by anarchy before the end of 2013. By the year 2035, we should be living underground and experimenting with time travel; that is, according to 12 Monkeys. And, of course, the police will be judges who act as judge, jury and executioner before the year 2139 if Judge Dredd comes to fruition.
